Patented Sept. 30, 1930 ABRAHAIEE eoonmAmonnnw YORK, AND .iAcois GOODMAN, or BRQQKLYNAEEWXQRK HAIR wa e This invention relates to an improved de- 7 vice for imparting to the hair a wave of natural appearance.

Among the salient Objects which the pres- 5 ent invention has in view are: To provide a hair waver which may be'easily and conveniently applied to the hair in service and also conveniently removed from the hair which will function to impart the desired ing the formation of the wave, and generally to improve the construction.

Other objects and advantages of the inven- 20 tion will appear as the description proceeds.

The light weight of the hair waver is a very desirable feature as by virtue thereof the waver may be worn for a considerable length of time without discomfort, thus making the wave more enduring and lasting. The construction is also very simple and hair wavers thus constructed may be placed on the market at Y a low price.

The embodiment shown in Figures 5 and 6 is similar to that previously described, with the exception of the hinge or pivot construction. In the construction of Figures 5 and 6, the loop 15 passes through openings 20 formed through the arched rib. portion 10 at the end thereof, the material of the end being flattened to permit the alignment of the openings. This construction is somewhat cheaperthan that of the first modification, although the hinge so obtained is not quite as nicein appearance.

Various slight alterations and modifications may be resorted to in the practice of the invention and no limitations are to be imposed upon the invention other than necessitated by the state of the prior art and the scone of the appended claims.

aims:

1. A hair waver comprising an arched rib element having an inverted channel shaped cross section, a slotted element formed of spaced wires arranged in parallel relation to each other and to said arched element and integrally connected by endloops, means for pivotally connecting one end loop to one end of the arched element, and means for detachably locking the other loop to the other end of the arched element when the arched element passes through the space between the wires and its free end abuts against said second loop, said locking means comprising a detent in the arched element adapted to snap into locking engagement with the second 100 2 A hair waver comprising a rib element,

a slotted element formed of spaced wire portions arranged in parallel relation to each other and to said rib element and connected by end wire loops, means for pivotally connecting an end loop to said rib element near an end thereof, said means comprising an end tongue integrally formed with said rib ele ment and bent back'on said rib element to house the end loop bet-ween itself and the rib at one end'for forming a hinge, and an in tongue dent at the opposite end for forming a latch member, an elongated resilient wire loop, one 7 end of said-loop being held in the perforation loop.
